"nostr is a simple distributed protocol to build internet applications for social networking, communication and media.
It requires lightweight relay servers, as opposed to large federated servers like in mastodon or email, or fully p2p like scuttlebutt.
It can be used to some extent via a browser using web clients, but it's best used alongside extensions for authentication and key management"
That is what I'm looking for. I'm not sure it's a good description, but I wish something like this was front and center
- jonstaab 1y agoGoing back to the site, I see what you mean. Very fair criticism. The site appeals to a bunch of implicit ideals without defining its terms.

Are there any good light weight relay servers you can recommend? I went to the site and the git repo, and https://njump.me https://njump.me Are there any I assume open source ones?

And it is decrypted on the client side (when user enters password to decrypt the key) to sign a message to send to peers or relay, they can verify your identity by checking against the corresponding public key.
